Digital Footprint
a collection of everything you have done online. Traces of what you looked up or used social media.
4 reasons to protect your digital footprint
reputation - information can be taken out of context. Like you at a party on a work night.
decide who uses your personal info - sharing information to people who only need to see it.
prevent financial loss - prevent identity theft or a credit card number getting stolen.
preserve freedoms - you could violate and break a law online and be arrested.
Ask yourself question before you post
Could include who benefits from this information, have I posted a lot already, it is grammatically correct, and will this harm someone?
Online etiquette
You have to act in a good way even when you are online. You want to have good manners.
Hate speech
it is a responsibility to recognize hate on the internet and to not share the negativity.
How to deal with internet hate
- dont delete comments you dont agree with
- respond with a good counter argument if you have one
